Sampling and Quantization in DSP

The document discusses sampling and quantization of continuous signals for digital signal processing. It explains that analog signals contain an infinite number of points that cannot be directly processed digitally. Sampling solves this by taking discrete samples at regular time intervals. The sampling theorem states that if the sampling rate is greater than twice the highest frequency in the analog signal, then the original signal can be perfectly reconstructed from the samples. Reconstruction converts the digital samples back into a continuous analog signal.

SAMPLING Contd.
Analog signal contains an innite number of points.
It is impossible to digitize an innite number of points. The
innite points cannot be processed by the digital signal (DS)
processor or computer, since they require an innite amount
of memory and innite amount of processing power for
computations.
Sampling can solve such a problem by taking samples
at a xed time interval.







Each sample maintains its voltage level during the
sampling interval T to give the ADC enough time to
convert it. This process is called sample and hold . S

SAMPLING Contd.
For a given sampling interval T , which is dened as the
time span between two sample points, the sampling rate
is therefore given by

samples persecond (Hz)


Sampling Theorem: When the sampling rate is greater
than twice the highest frequency contained in the
analog signal, the original signal can be
reconstructed exactly from the samples.
Reconstruction is the conversion of the digital signal into
an analog signal.

is the maximum-frequency component of the analog


signal to be sampled 6
SAMPLING Contd.
If an analog signal is not appropriately sampled, aliasing will
occur, which causes unwanted signals in the desired
frequency band.
